Men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF this afternoon dispersed supporters of Chief Chris Ngige, who had besieged the INEC office in Awka, the Nambra state capital, Southeast Nigeria.

 

The youths numbering about 2000 had come on a peaceful protest over the stalemated senatorial election but they were turned back by men of the Nigeria Police Force.

The youths carried placards with different inscriptions like:” INEC declare Ngige winner”; “don’t manipulate our results”; “this is not true democracy, Jega must hear this”; there was no election in Anaocha on 9th April, only fraud”; “allow us to choose our leader,” etc.

Speaking on behalf of the youths, Hon. Nwude Okechukwu said they decided to embark on the peaceful protest because they are tired of the era where candidates are imposed on them.

 

According to him, “there was no election in some parts of Anambra. In some parts of the state, we didn’t see electoral officers or electoral materials, so we want our people to represent us.”
